Re: Prevent command prompt from popping up at system startup



Jure,

ewfmgr is a console app and that explains why you are seeing the blank window blinking quickly at the boot.

The best way to fix this would probably be writing your own simple and little app that will call in to the EWF API to commit the
overlay. You can make your app small and non-console so that it starts very fast and no GUI seen.

Hi,

maybe this isn't the right newsgroup to ask this question, but since
it's related to XP embedded, I'll try.

I'm trying to achieve the following: every time the system (XP
Embedded) boots up, i'd like to call commit on EWF. Now i did that by
setting a registry key in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run with the following
value: "C:\Windows\System32\ewfmgr.exe c: -commit". The problem is that
when the system boots up, the command prompt appears on the desktop for
a moment (like if you executed this command from the Run menu) and this
is undesired. Is it somehow possible to suppress it, or at least run it
minimized?

Thanks in advance for any answers,
Jure
